A fiber aggregation contains fiber containing a thermoplastic resin, each of the fiber being mutually joined and aligned.

Filter media and media packs that provide robust performance in high-speed rotating coalescer (HSRC) elements for crankcase ventilation systems are described. The fiber media is HSRC fiber media. As such, the filter media has a higher resistance to compressibility then traditional coalescer filter media, such as fiber media used in low-speed rotating coalescer arrangements or stationary coalescer arrangements.

Charged polymeric webs, such as electret webs, include a thermoplastic resin and a charge-enhancing additive. The additives are a mercapto-benzothiazole salts or mercapto-benzoxazole salts. The electret webs may be a non-woven fibrous web or a film. The electret webs are suitable for use as filter media.

Charged polymeric webs, such as electret webs, include a thermoplastic resin and a charge-enhancing additive. The additives are substituted benzothiazole compounds or substituted benzoxazole compounds. The substituent groups may be hydroxyl, mercapto, or aromatic groups. The electret webs may be a non-woven fibrous web or a film. The electret webs are suitable for use as filter media.
